Do not manually delete that account.  Do this...

Create a new account to use for the Portal Admin.  Assign this account to the Admin role.  Then, go into site settings and change the Portal Admin to the new account you just created.  Once you do that, you can delete the original admin account.

Make sure you set the new, primary Admin in Site Settings.

Yes.  That is the only thing that would keep you from deleting a user.  I guess I should have put my suggestion into bullet form.  ;)
